Sand & Water Play

Physical development is one of the primary areas of growth in the Early Years Foundation Stage. Water play can be a great tool for encouraging development in both gross and fine motor skills, as well as being so much fun!

Encouraging open-ended play, our water play toys and stations allow you to develop games for further challenges. For example, you could encourage children to fill buckets and pour from one to another – a challenge for gross motor skills – or introduce some concepts from maths and physics, by providing measuring cups and jugs, objects which float and sink, or adding ice cubes to their play (you can even freeze toys into the ice, to make for exciting explorations as the cubes thaw)!

Playing with water is naturally challenging as children cope with the weight and resistance water provides, so helps to build muscle tone and therefore dexterity. It also encourages a longer concentration span and provides a calming and relaxing environment, as children can use water play as a tranquil, repetitive activity (such as scooping and pouring).

Testimonials

"Thank you, the sandpit was delivered to the nursery yesterday and our Director happened to be there when it arrived.
Speaking to him this morning, he said it was the best built piece of nursery equipment he has ever seen (and believe me we've seen a lot)!
The children are going to have a wonderful time using this. It's really refreshing to have such a quality piece of equipment that has been built to last."

"Very professional service from start to finish. Installation was carried out promptly, efficiently, courteously and tidily. The learning pod itself is of very high quality, and our students love it. Highly recommended."

"From initial consultation to final installation, you facilitated our ideas and brought our vision to life."

I just wanted to email to say how efficient and approachable your Landscapes for Learning team were today.
Nothing was too much trouble for them, they were polite, tidy and respectful of our school, pupils and daily routines.
